Bear in mind that it is a highly important part of your property's data.

Airbnb requires specific license information to publish your listings. The required details depend on your property's location and local government regulations. If mandatory license data is missing or formatted incorrectly, Airbnb will block your listing from going live. See the Airbnb license requirements article.
